Incidentally, in the case where there are both a print job for which a positive result is obtained in step S88 and a print job for which a negative result is obtained in step S88, the processor 31 according to the present exemplary embodiment prioritizes the print job for which a positive result is obtained. This is for the purpose of maintaining the print speed that is used to print a plurality of print jobs added to the print list being as high as possible.
In the case where there are no remaining print jobs in the determination in step S82, the processor 31 obtains a negative result in step S82. In this case, the processor 31 updates the job execution time etc. of the print job added to the print list corresponding to the rolled paper, and displays the updated information on the display device (step S92). After that, the processor 31 ends the process.
Changes in display that accompany the execution of the processing operation illustrated in
The print job #21 may be rasterized at a speed of 70 meters/minute. The length (hereinafter referred to also as a “paper travel distance”) of paper to be consumed through execution of the print job #21 is 6000 meters.
The print job #22 may be rasterized at a speed of 50 meters/minute. The length of paper to be consumed through execution of the print job #22 is 2000 meters.
